2000 Ford Ka 1 review from UK and Ireland
"The best budget small car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering rack bush perished after 1 year.Replaced under warranty.
General comments?
Probably the best small car ride available. Compares favourably with much bigger cars.
The most fun you can have for £6k on a new car.
Driving position and space in front much better than competition.
Power assisted steering very positive and direct better than many a hot hatch.
Gear change precise and a joy to use.
Will travel at 80mph all day on motorway with no effort.
Negative only about toy town plastics on interior which easily mark.
Buy a stereo upgrade the Ford 6000CD is excellent much better than base unit.
Don't bother with fancy extras unless you're not paying full price you really don't need electric windows or fancy seats.
OK you will be beaten onto the motorway by 2litre Mondeos, but believe me you will have more fun on the twisty bits.
Get one you won't regret it.
